Getting an international driver's license in taiwan

This is good to know. When I go to the DMV, if I can’t get box A stamped then I’ll try holding my ground/asking someone else until it happens.

In case anyone is wondering or stops by this thread in future.

I originally had my US license authenticated at TECO before arriving to Taiwan. Coming to Taiwan, got Taiwan car license, and later took 50cc+ road test for heavy scooter license.

Fast forward couple years, I took both Taiwan licenses, two photos, ARC, and passport to Motor Vehicle office to get IDP.

They stamped both A and B boxes for cars and motorcycles.

Cost 250nt.

So for those foreigners in Taiwan who have Taiwan licenses and will be traveling abroad, don’t need to go home or by mail to apply for IDP. Just go to local motor vehicle and get Taiwan IDP quickly and cheap.
